Because they’re deluded desperate individuals and desperation can alter the way the mind works.
It feels like they’re increasingly adopting the more obvious tactics of the US right-wing
Because they have nothing else to offer and no success to point to.
Because they are trying to appeal to the far right.
Boredom?
Because in this new world of unregulated social media and ‘fake news’, it’s very effective.
Because they know England populace is braindead enough to believe them, the same people that call LBC in a huff saying “a friend of my cousin was told by his acquaintance that in a paper somewhere it was said that to respect immigrants schools won’t serve bacon anymore and I am OUTRAGED”
Because they have been in power for 13 years, the country is in deep shit and they need to deflect blame on to someone else.
Europe is their go-to.
Listen to Rishis speech. It’s got nothing in it. The most positive parts were a bare faced lie about investment in the North (they can’t fund it with the hs2 savings) and extra training places for doctors and nurses which labour was calling for first
They are giving right wing populism a shot. They see how successful it is in the USA and parts of Europe. Can’t see people wearing Rishi hats here, but there are plenty of low information voters who are easy to manipulate.
